High school romance with familiar tropes. It's not anything special, but mildly entertaining. I read it when I was sick and it ticked the box. There was probably some profanity.

Just read the info on Goodreads again about the author and feel bad giving only 3 stars.
It was what was promised, a feel good HEA.
Fluffy romance, a few minor errors, but I am sorry to say, I have not submitted these to Amazon, some where debatable and no spelling errors, I think, only some words wrong or double in a sentence, some not really wrong, but (for me) bad style or not enough editing, like "she gave it some thought and thought about it", certainly correct grammar, but not well written. German was spot on, and could have saved the book to 4 points for me, had it been shorter or had more twists.
No sex, only romance, no swearing (or not much), which is a plus for me. But no sex for the age-group both in the book and the one intended to read it, a little unrealistic, but ok.
A rainy weekend-feel-good read to snuggle with your favorite blanket on the couch with a hot cup of chocolate, coffee or tea. Recommended, well done, but no real surprises. Could have been shorter (or have shorter chapters, to pause in between). The 3 stars are more like 3.4 rounded down, on another day I might have rounded 3.5 up to 4, but it does not feel like it for me. Will check out the next book, maybe the author grows, both on me and in her writing style. Recommended.

I could write a long list of things to show how amazing this book was but it was just sweet and adorable. I enjoyed and loved every single page of it. Perfect!👌

If you have not read this book than you need to. Seriously, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! I'm joking of course but in all seriousness I really enjoyed and loved this book. We're constantly given heroines, especially in YA contemporary romance, who are coiffed as if they leapt off of the cover of Teen Vogue. So it was refreshing to be inside the wonderful, fangirly, geeked out mind of Sally. I felt so kindred with her as she quoted Star Wars as gospel and felt as though she always stuck out. Her relationships are so genuine, specifically her friendship with Becks. I loved this book and felt like it had been written with me in mind. Go read this now!

My rating started with 4 starts because it was very entertaining and cute. But I retracted a star for the constant "I'M nOt lIKe oThEr gIrls", because yeah being quirky is cute and "dork" is literally in the title, but why does she constantly feel the need to put other girls down? She acts like not putting on makeup is a (positive) personality trait lol.
(And she acts like liking Harry Potter and star trek makes her "such a dork" but those are one of the most popular franchises for a reason. If the author really wanted to make her a nerd or whatever, at least try harder)
That also correlates with the ridiculously over the top mean girls. Together with the CONSTANT slut-shaming made me retract another star.
Her love interest is described multiple times as a "player" with a love for girls, while those girls who love him are "sluts", "sleezies" and "skanks". Aha SurE, lovE that -_-.
The "mean girl" trope has been over-done since the beginning of time. Maybe you disagree for holding it up to 2020 standards but it isn't like this wasn't bad 4 years ago. I can overlook the cliches but not the harmful tropes.
Not in this household.

I knew they would end up together within 20 pages but I don't mind predictability with this type of book. I really did not like Hooker though. This is the main character's "best friend" and she spends the entire book doubting Sally and pushing her into things she has REPEATEDLY said she doesn't want or like. Other than that it was cute. I even ended up liking Ash.

Best friends turned lovers is my most favorite trope. Ever. Of all time. So this book was perfect for me. The only two things I wish were better are the ending (it seemed very rushed and was over in like, 2 pages... there could have been more there), and it should have been dual POV. Simply because dual POV is always better, and I'm a sucker for hearing the male's thoughts in relationships. >< All in all, a great book. Solid 4 3/4 stars. ^_^
